THULCANDRA Recording New Album

January 11, 2011

THULCANDRA — the reactivated German black/death metal band featuring members of OBSCURA, DARK FORTRESS and HELFAHRT — has issued the following update:

"We just entered well known Woodshed Studios to record our second full-length [album] 'Under A Frozen Sun' alongside producer V. Santura. Seraph (DARK FORTRESS) will take care of the drum duties for the new album.

"The new material is way more epic, the songs are longer and we added a ton of guitar layers and leads to top our debut, 'Fallen Angel's Dominion'.

"While the debut album was based on old material back from the earlier years until 2008, 'Under A Frozen Sun' consists only new material.

"Everyone who is into the tradition of early No Fashion releases from the Nineties will be pleased by this album.

"We will just take a break from the recordings for a performance at Bavarian Battle Festival which is scheduled for January 15. Alongside DARK FORTRESS, SEAR BLISS and ODEM ARCARUM we will celebrate our intention of black metal.

"Besides a new album, we are working on official live footage of last year's Helion Festival. The complete material will be released as 'Thulcandra - Live Demise' in a free full HD streaming format in March."

"Thulcandra - Live Demise" track listing:

01. In The Realm of Thousand Deaths
02. Night Eternal
03. Fallen Angel's Dominion
04. Frozen Kingdom
05. Everlasting Fire
06. Spirit Of The Night
07. The Somberlain (DISSECTION cover)

THULCANDRA's debut album, "Fallen Angels Dominion", was released in June 2010 via Napalm Records. The CD was recorded at Woodshed Studios with producers V. Santura and Steffen Kummerer and features the artwork of Kristian Wåhlin (a.k.a. Necrolord; AT THE GATES, DISSECTION, EDGE OF SANITY, EMPEROR, DARK FUNERAL, SACRAMENTUM).

THULCANDRA is:

Steffen Kummerer - Vocals, Guitar
Sebastian Ludwig - Guitar
Tobias Ludwig - Bass
Seraph - Session Drums

THULCANDRA was founded back in 2003 by Steffen Kummerer (OBSCURA) and Jürgen Zintz with the intention of writing music in the vein of DISSECTION and UNANIMATED, the "old way of Swedish blackened death metal." When Jürgen committed suicide at the end of 2005, the band went on a hiatus. THULCANDRA was revived when the evil twins Tobias and Sebastian Ludwig, both known for their guitar and bass duties in the German pagan/black metal band HELFAHRT, joined the fold and Seraph of the mighty DARK FORTRESS stepped in as a session drummer.
